The Walking Dead Fans React to Final Season Part 2 Premiere: "No Other Way"

By Cameron Bonomolo - February 13, 2022 07:45 pm EST

Warning: this story contains spoilers for the first part of The Walking Dead Season 11, but there are no spoilers for Sunday's early access premiere now streaming on AMC+. The Walking Dead returned with its Final Season Part 2 premiere Sunday on AMC+, and fans are sharing their first spoiler-free reactions to "No Other Way." The episode, which ComicBook calls a "fresh" and "twisty, action-packed premiere" in our mid-season return review, won't air on AMC until February 20. AMC+ subscribers are the first to find out what happens when the Part 2 premiere picks up where October's Part 1 finale, "For Blood," left off: with a war over Meridian.

The first part of the expanded Final Season (returning February 20 on AMC) ended with Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) waging war on the Reapers, the commando "Chosen Ones" serving under Pope (Ritchie Coster). But when Leah (Lynn Collins) kills Pope, pinning his murder on Daryl, she launches the hwacha and fires hundreds of rocket-propelled arrows at Gabriel (Seth Gilliam), Elijah (Okea Eme-Akwari), and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

Back home at Alexandria, Aaron (Ross Marquand) and Rosita (Christian Serratos) take charge as the storm-battered community holds off the walker invasion trapping Gracie (Anabelle Holloway) and Judith Grimes (Cailey Fleming) in a quickly-flooding cellar. In "No Other Way," the Alexandrians fight the dead as the Meridian group fights the living in a premiere twisting the three-part Final Season into a fresh and different direction.

See what fans are saying below. The Walking Dead: The Final Season Part 2 premiere "No Other Way" is now streaming on AMC+ and premieres February 20 on AMC.

Damn.#TheWalkingDead has arrived in 2022 with a bang!

Superb Episode: No Other Way.

A few surprising twists which sets up Part 2 and 3 nicely.

Can tell how close @wwwbigbaldhead @LaurenCohan @JDMorgan are in real life. You can't teach that raw emotion in acting.
